• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Tips on helping my 6 year old trying riding without training wheels

Tomorrow I'm taking my boys riding, and my 6 year old is ready to ride without training wheels. Does anyone have any helpful tips that I can use. My 8 year old was 6 when he started riding, but never used the training wheels. He just jumped on and went. My 6 year old has always been a little more cautious with everything he does. He's been riding with training wheels since he was 4. Thanks everyone.
 
Yeah troy nailed it if he can ride a pushy then hel be sweet on a moto. My young fella got it within 10min of me runnin along side him. Jus get him to practice startin n stoppin n holdin bike weight up rite.

I refused to let my boy ride with trainin wheels(jus my opinion) on his pw50. Encouraged him to ride without n made him learn quicker. Kids cn jus b lazy n get comfy relyin on em
 
Give him a roomy place & make sure he knows how to use the brakes. I didn't & the little guy almost hit my car. He rode it on his own after I couldn't keep up & ran out of wind while running along side him holding the bike. Just gotta go for it.
 
Yeh big flat open area(school oval or local park) is the go. I tried the throttle adjusterbut it jus made the clutch drag n sluggish to take off
 
Thanks for all the pointers. We'll see how he does today. We're going to a SVRA that has a few large open areas that are setup for kids only. I wouldn't let him try outside of the house so he wouldn't crash and get gun shy. Thanks again everyone. This is what makes this site top notch:thumbsup:
 
The best part was he really enjoyed it. When we were done yesterday, he asked me when we can go riding again. Talk about music to my ears.
